G'day Brian.

Looks very much like the Northrop X-21?

Correct The Northrop X-21 project was based on a Douglas B-66 airframe.
You have control.

Thanks Brian.

Think of a critter that according to Hollywood "can strip the flesh from a cow to the bone, in 30 minutes" and you will solve this, and my Cockpit Challenge.

Done!

All yours.

(Also have it as the Issoire IA Pirahna - when Wassmer went under.)

Night.

Sorry mate, but it's almost the top of the night here, so I'll have to leave you with Open House.

The landing gear is identical to the Czech GP ONE. Any connection?

Morning Bri - nice to see someone around.

No connection whatsoever - this one's German/Swiss, and now marketed in the USA.

petrel

Ridge,
Just to let you know I am intimately familiar with the plane in your picture. I just finished working on a project were I designed a new plane based on the hull of the one in your picture. In fact we used that plane and pulled a mold directly from the hull. I designed a new fuselage, boom and tail to fit another wing the company already had. The plane in your picture is in fact a Petrel. It is stationed at a small airfield in Rayong Thailand. I think your picture is a few years old. Or it could be very recent after we finished with it. I have alot of pics for it but cannot figure out how to put one in this message. sorry.
